XAUUSD (H1) – Monday Trading Plan

Lana prioritizes sell setups until a new high is broken

Quick summary

Technical context: Price has pulled back strongly from the All-Time High, showing short-term weakness

Daily bias: Sell on rallies, until price breaks and holds above a new high

Key events: Speech from U.S. President Trump and updates related to U.S.–China trade may increase volatility

News impact – what to watch

Trump’s speech: Often drives short-term USD sentiment through comments on growth, tariffs, and inflation. Gold may react sharply to headline risk.

U.S.–China trade activity (CCPIT): Any improvement in trade sentiment can support USD in the short term, adding pressure to gold. Rising tensions would favor gold as a safe haven.

Because of this, Lana will focus on price reaction at key zones rather than predicting the news outcome.

Technical analysis (H1)

Gold printed a new All-Time High and then sold off aggressively, signaling profit-taking near the top.

Price is now consolidating within a corrective structure, where selling rallies remains the higher-probability play.

Key zones identified on the chart:

Sell zone: 4529 – 4531

Buy reaction zone: 4498 – 4500 (support)

Trading plan for Monday
Primary scenario – Sell rallies

Sell: 4529 – 4531
This zone is expected to act as resistance during the current correction.

Bias change condition:
Only shift to a bullish continuation if price breaks above the previous high and holds.

Secondary scenario – Short-term buy reaction

Buy: 4498 – 4500
This is considered a scalp-only setup, as the overall intraday bias remains bearish.

Session notes

Asian session may remain slow, while volatility is likely to increase around the scheduled events.

Best trades are expected when price returns to planned zones rather than trading in the middle of the range.
